Kanha: Tiger in the Woods
Spread across the Mandla and Balaghat districts of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha is a 'must-visit' destination for every wildlife enthusiast. One of India's largest tiger reserves, the 1,945 sq. km. Kanha National Park is surrounded by tall grasslands and a forest dominated by Sal and Bamboo. The park is also home to leopards and langurs, along with huge populations of deer and antelopes.
The Barasingha or swamp deer is the state animal of Madhya Pradesh and one of the one of the main attractions at Kanha apart from the tiger.
Kanha National Park is the first in India to officially introduce a mascot 'Bhoorsingh the Barasingha' - aimed at creating awareness about conserving the endangered swamp deer species. The thrill of driving deep into the vast jungle in an open jeep, anticipating the sight of a tiger at any moment, is reason enough to make a trip to Kanha.
